I have been using COM+ with VB6.0. Howw com+is used in
VB.Net?? As per my info, .net is a plateform independent
application development env. and COM+ can be used on
win2K+ os only. So does it mean that com+ is obsolete
now???? Can somebody explain me about this in detail??

To my understanding .net replaces COM+.
 
COM+ is available on W2K, XP and W2K3, both, unmanaged code (VB6, VC++
etc....) as well as managed code like VB.NET C# etc.. can be used to write
components that require the services (transactions, security, process
cycling, isolation etc...) offered by COM+.
So NO, COM+ is is no way obsolete.

Your understanding is wrong, see my reply to OP.

Well, one could theorize that COM+ will be ported to managed code and then
have the theoretical ability to be cross platform, but I agree with you,
Willy, in that COM+ ain't goin' anywhere anytime soon!

And BTW, "junk" refer to the System.EnterpriseServices namespace for COM+
support, in case you weren't aware.

Eric,

Sure theoretically it's possible, but don't forget that COM+ (component
services) are a set of system services using COM as system component layer.
That way moving to managed code for the component services (the + in COM+)
won't justify a name change, and won't make it cross platform. Of course one
could replace COM and add these services to the CLR, but then you will have
to replace other components based on COM interfaces (like the DTC) by
managed versions as well. I don't say this is not going to happen, but I'm
sure it will take quite some time (and OS versions) before we see COM/COM+
disappear.
